Lets talk about this Alex Ross Moon Knight cover
Pretty fugly right? I've never been a huge Alex Ross for many reasons. His ego, his love of the Silver Age etc. His paintings have always been good. I can appreciate the man's work. He's even doing some more modern stuff lately so maybe he caught up with all of us here in 2009. But this Moon Knight cover is pretty terrible. The pose, the lighting, the coloring. Everything is off. Now, I know what some of you are thinking, "You wish you could draw like that." Yeah, I do, but I'm not a world renowned artist, which believe it or not he is. I just point this particular piece out because I've come to expect great work by Alex Ross. This isn't.
Also, lately I've been thinking a lot about Fantastic Four and their movie franchise. I have a plan to win the lottery, buy the rights from Fox and then sell them back to Marvel. Casting has been an issue too. I got ideas on casting, let me hear yours.
